Courses

Students participating in a semester exchange to AUT University are only allowed to take courses through the business school. Students would have to pay a large fee for any courses taken outside of the business school.

For staff or students wanting to access paper (or course) descriptors or class times for Semester One and Two, this information is not accessed through AUT's main university website but through AUTOnline. AUTOnline is an access point for students to get their online materials for classes such as readings or Powerpoint slides, but also for class timetables. It can be a little confusing for students who are not familiar with AUT websites.

Here are the steps to follow to find information on class timetables and paper (or course) descriptors for each semester.

  2. On the top right menu and select Open Organisations
  3. Select the tile for Business Undergraduate Programme Information

Postgraduate (Graduate)

    Study Planning 20xx

  5. To access paper descriptors, look under where it says "Step 2 - Specialisations" and you will see a list of the majors offered in the Business School. By clicking on these majors, a list of all the papers offered under that major can be found. You can also find all the relevant paper descriptors here.
